HELP! does any one know.

any one know the aprox weight of a gaylord of hard drives and a gaylord of power supplys. my scale won't go that high. thx in advance. mcw

my last gaylord of power supplies was approx 1500 pounds.

Let me revise my hard drive number for a better estimate.

You average gaylord has an approx inside holding space of 69120 inch's cubed

You average 3.5 inch hard drive will take up 23 inch's cubed.

if we divide 69120 by 23 we get 3005

The average hard drive weighs 0.8 - 1.3 pounds so we will go with an average of 1.1

if they are neatly stacked in the box only to the rim expect the box to weight 3305 pound give or take a few 100 pounds

loosely thrown into the box expect a 20-30% reduction in weight. Also add more if the are stacked higher then the lip of the box.


Also if you are dealing with gaylords i suggest getting a new scale

thanks helps a lot. I just recently moved into the gaylord shipping catigory, and planed for a new bridge scale but the drop in gold and scrap prices has put that aside for a while i'm afraid. thanks again

your standard gaylord is 48x40x36

Ofcourse these change based on application also thickness with decrease your storage space.

ok thanks guys. I use the big 4 wall gaylords

Besides the hand flapping, short shorts wearing sissy girly men i think those would be the only type of gaylord.
